Keeping Faeries Around
Once you've become acquainted with the faeries you will have to work with them to keep and build a realtionship with them. You cannot draw upon faery energy unless you are on good terms with the Little People, and this can be difficult to do due to their over sensative nature. You must treat them with respect at all times. You don't enjoy being belittled, made fun of, taken for granted or taken advantage of; neither do they. A part of this is always inviting them to be present for your spells and rituals, just as you would any other deity, even if you would only have them be spectators. Every living thing, on any plane of existance, need sustenance to sustain life. This means they need food, they must eat in order to live. Feeding the faeries is a common practice and wine, honey, bread, milk, and butter are common things to leave out. In the case of formal liberations to the fae you usually would give a portion of your food or drink before you partake of the drink or food. If you wish to make a formal liberation of you wine to the fae, before you drink from the glass, state your intention and pour a little into a small bowl for them and set it out later.

Respect their sacred places and dwelings. Don't act as if you own the astral realm or if any being in it owes you anything. Don't make demands, ask for something if you need it. Be careful you do not desecrate faery mounds, even if this is unintentional. Also, be mindful to take care of our Earth in the physical. The fey hold the earth dear and to harm it by littering or contributing unnecssarily to the poultion and further rape and pillage of is offensive to them. In your garden plant so plants they love, even if it's just growing something on your bedroom windowsill. Trees special to them are also good things to have around to make them feel welcome in your home. Never lie about the contact with faeries you have made. In fact, it's best just not to talk about it at all. To do so, and to misrepresent or outright lie will most likely mean the faeries will abandon you. They may also go out of their way to cause problems for you whenever you enter an altered state. You should always be honest about your contact and activities with the faeries, and probalby best to not talk about it often. Do you like being talked about, ecspecially when you're not there? Every so often someone comes along and claims to have captured a faery. A great many of these are hoaxes. Those that are not made up may actually have been an astral being who got stuck in the physcial world. Occasionally there have been reports of humans getting stuck in the astral plane, and trust me, it is a very frightening experince! Be assured that in such cases though the faery will eventually get away. This is a cruel thing to do and I'd advise against it, afterall, faeries are known to hold grudges and you will pay for it.
